Galil Now Offers Screw-Terminals and Expanded Memory for its RIO Pocket PLC

Introduced in early 2008, Galil's RIO Pocket PLC is a smart, compact and low-cost Ethernet controller that is packed with I/O. Now, Galil announces two new additions to its popular RIO-47xxx PLC Series: The RIO-47200 with screw terminals and the RIO-471x2 with memory expansion.

RIO-471x2 with Memory Expansion

The RIO-471x2 PLC is the same as the RIO-471x0 except that it offers more memory, variables, array elements, programmable PID control loops and Ethernet handles. Table 1 shows the expanded capabilities.

The RIO-471x2 PLC is ideal for customers that require more space for application programs or need to use additional variables or arrays in their programs. It also offers more PID process loops, which is ideal for temperature control. The RIO-471x2 PLC features the same, compact packaging and D-type connectors as the standard RIO-471x0, and both contain the same amount of I/O: 8 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. For all the expanded capabilities, the RIO-471x2 is just $50 more than the RIO-471x0.

RIO-47200 with Screw Terminals

Galil's card level RIO-47200 PLC with DIN rail mount and screw terminals is ideal for customers who are prototyping or want to connect discrete wires to the RIO via screw terminals. As part of the RIO family, the RIO-47200 is an intelligent, cost-effective solution for I/O control. There are key differences with the RIO-47200 when compared to the RIO-47100 (See Table 2).
